Some polls from Rasmussen Reports:
  • Barack Obama’s presidential index rating shows that 21% of American voters strongly approve of his performance while 38% strongly disapprove, giving Obama a presidential index rating of –17.
  • Overall, 46% of voters say they at least somewhat approve of Barack Obama’s performance and 53% disapprove.
  • Roughly two out of three voters think Americans are overtaxed, and nearly as many say future federal tax increases should be voted on by the American people.
  • Only 28% of voters say they share Obama’s political views.
  • Among American voters, 48% side with the Tea party as opposed to the average member of Congress. Only 22% say their views are closest to those of the average member of Congress.
  • Among American voters, 49% think the Tea party movement is good for the country while 26% think the Tea party is bad for America.
  • Regarding taxes, 74% of Americans say they should pay no more than 20% of their income to the federal government. The average American currently pays 30% of their income to the federal government.
I thought it would be appropriate to end this post with a quote from Bill Clinton when he was in his prime.

“It’s the economy, stupid.”
